Dates and times at Aldgate

At Aldgate this course starts a Wednesday every 3 weeks. There are 2 dates open to book now, listed below with the day each one starts. The course runs over 3 days, 9am to 6pm each day. Every session counts towards the SIA's minimum hours, so plan to be there for all of it.

Getting to the Aldgate centre

Training is at 6 Osborn Street, London E1 6TD. Osborn Street is at the bottom of Brick Lane. Aldgate East (District and Hammersmith and City lines) is seconds away, Aldgate (Circle and Metropolitan) a few minutes more, and Liverpool Street and Whitechapel both bring the Elizabeth line within a short walk. Osborn Street is where Brick Lane meets Whitechapel High Street, so the Aldgate centre is on the doorstep of the City and the Shoreditch bars and venues where many of our door supervisors go on to work.

What you pay

The full fee is £250. You pay £100 online when you book and the remaining £150 at the centre on your first day. The deposit is not refundable, because your place is registered and the trainer is arranged as soon as you book, but you can move to another date once, free of charge, with at least 48 hours notice.

Mostly people who want control room work in shopping centres, transport hubs, hospitals and town centre CCTV rooms, and door staff adding a second licence.
